New discounted eGift Cards

Everyone likes saving money, and it’s even better when you save money at the stores you love to shop at. RACQ now gives members the chance to save at over 30 popular retailers with discounted e-gift cards.

Imagine saving money on your groceries every week, or when you buy clothes, homewares and appliances. By simply registering an account online and pre-purchasing e-gift cards you can save up to 15% at stores like Kmart, Target, Coles, Myer, David Jones, Lorna Jane, JB Hi-Fi, The Good Guys and more. You get the discount upfront, so if you purchase a $100 Target gift card you’ll only pay $92.50 but be able to redeem the full $100 value.

The process couldn’t be easier. Once your account is set up, you can purchase and manage your cards all in one place. To redeem the gift card, you can scan the barcode from your phone in store or enter the gift card details to redeem online.

Never pay retail price again at some of Australia’s most popular stores.

Here’s just a few of ways you could save!

Save $180 on a $3,000 TV from JB Hi-Fi
Save $22.50 on $150 worth of activewear from Lorna Jane
Save $15 on a $200 shop at Target
Whether you’re splurging on that must-have item or getting the essentials, there are infinite ways to save.

    Awesome find! There are heaps of stores with significant savings, cheers!

    6% off JB and 7% off EB is pretty awesome, also 10% off DJ's.

        Couldn't find anything about CC surcharges though.
        Coles eGift or Gift Cards are notorious for 1% surcharges which eats into the discount.

        This puts the other state RACs to shame.

        • Op54 on 15/08/2017 - 12:32

          I know, we thought we were spoiled getting %5 off the cost price of Woolies group wish cards (That is the same as you get through Cashrewards too). The RACQ deals are huge. Lucky devils.

  • Chazzozz on 15/08/2017 - 10:19

    FYI, the web site says you need to register. The form asks for an RACQ membership number and has an asterisk next to it, but I can't confirm it's a required field so RACQ membership is required. Here's the full T&Cs for the curious.

    Edit: I completely missed the prominent "Not a member? Get Lifestyle and start saving today." at the top of the form, with a button that takes you to an RACQ membership signup page. So, I think that pretty much confirms you need to be an RACQ member to access this site. As such, if you're a member of another autoclub you'll need to check your local web site to see if they offer the same.

      By right you're not supposed to. But the system allows you to, barring any staff members stopping you.

      I have used target gc to buy coles gc at target and no one asked any questions

      when i used coles gc to buy bunnings gc, I was treated like a criminal. Had to try a different coles store.

      • iSamurai on 15/08/2017 - 11:41
        +2

        I know since coles updated their self checkout software, you can't use a gift card to buy another gift card anymore, but before that you could. kmart still has the old software on their self checkouts.

        • [Deactivated] on 19/01/2018 - 15:12

          Hiw to use this cards at kmart checkout. I went today and there was one option for Voucher. I tried to scan my egift card but it didn't work.

      • ilubbargains on 15/08/2017 - 11:46

        Based on your experience, that's essentially 7.5% off physical coles myer gift cards correct? Ie, buy target egiftcards at 7.5% discount from RACQ then buy physical coles myer gift cards at target.

        • Turd on 15/08/2017 - 12:38

  • paultiffen on 15/08/2017 - 12:19

    Signed up just to try it. No CC surcharge but they ask you to verify with a 4 digit code on the transaction. After that card was available straight away. Tried a kmart 50 dollar card

    • MathNerd on 15/08/2017 - 12:29

      That's awesome. Thanks for letting us know. This is enough incentive to buy a Lifestyle membership and start reaping in the GC discounts :)

    • acs on 15/08/2017 - 16:14

      Yeah did this as well. Issue is that I called the CC issuer and they say the four digit V number will not be available for 10 days…

      • Turd on 16/08/2017 - 10:55

        Which bank?

        I used citibank and they have instant pending transactions and I was able to view teh V number straight away.

  • pennypincher98 on 15/08/2017 - 12:31

    On the fence about whether to pay the annual $26 fee to access these discounts…
    5% at Coles, Good Guys, rebel
    8% at BCF, dymocks
    6% at JB
    7.5% at Target, Kmart

    all are ones that could make it worth it, but I think that if I get discounts on everything it will prompt me to buy even more stuff that I don't need!!

      But on a more serious note, you make back the membership fee just after a single $500 Coles card purchase. That's a bit more than a month's worth of groceries for the average family. Multiply that by 12 for a year and you've made a profit of ~11 times the annual fee!
      Pretty good now eh? ;)

      • pennypincher98 on 15/08/2017 - 14:05

        While all that might be well and good I don't actually buy the groceries for my family :P
        Thinking of presents though, but then I would be limited to those stores - although almost everyone I buy for could fit under one of the store categories above.

    • iSamurai on 15/08/2017 - 13:27

      if your electricity/gas is with AGL you can get coles GC through AGL rewards. I think some private health insurance also has this.

      • modsec802 on 15/08/2017 - 14:55

        NIB has access to these discounts but have a 1% credit card surcharge and charge $5 postage

        • charliechunks on 16/08/2017 - 10:50

          Mostly the same but NIB (and Lumo, AGL and entertainment book) dont have bonds, baby bunting or witchery.

  • bodysurfer on 15/08/2017 - 15:49

    Playing around with this a bit, cool to see all the benefits available for RACQ members. I noticed that Coles egiftcards aren't valid for Coles Online. Also looks like you need to add some ID to your 'gift card portal account' like a drivers licence? I didn't actually buy a gift card yet, but just thought I'd mention these observations.

    Overall looks like a great new place to get discounted gift cards and other benefits, and you can join for just $26 as various comments have already said. I assume anyone can join (don't need to be in QLD).

    Would be good if they had an APP that could hold all these gift cards (like the Woolies Money APP). I suppose for now I will just have a link on my Phone's homepage that takes me to the RACQ eGift Card portal

    Bought 1x $500 and 1x $50 DJ's card today, verified the code straight away, however, it's still processing.
    There was this message on the DJ's card purchase page:

    Please be advised that there may a delay in receiving $50 David Jones eGift Cards due to the busy Christmas period.!

    Hopefully it will come through soon!

    • stickyfingers on 21/12/2017 - 17:55

  • andshebakes on 10/03/2018 - 10:39

    Just thought I'd add that some gift cards are restricted in denomination and quantity, which makes them less usable for big ticket item purchases. Example, The Good Guys + JBHI only allow you to buy $50 gift cards with a maximum of 10 at a time (per calendar month).

    On the other hand David Jones cards are in denominations of up to $500 x 10, making it a much better deal for big purchases. Pity they couldn't price match the fridge at The Good Guys as it was below their cost price and not in stock.

    • aja12 on 10/03/2018 - 22:17

      Yeah, pretty annoying. Was going to buy a phone from JB tomorrow. Previously you could buy JB vouchers at denominations of up to $499, now capped at $50. It’s only just changed, as I bought a $499 JB voucher only 2 weeks ago. Bummer.

    • doweyy on 15/03/2018 - 15:34

      There's actually a way to get around this, you take the whole amount out of the denomination box and put the amount you want (Up to 10 x $500) and then add to cart, it allows you to order.
